Got me to thinking.  So I looked at my F13 test system, and sure enough,
I had an empty /etc/modprobe.conf file.  I can't remember if I ran
system-config-network or not on May 9th at 23:04, but I *do* remember
disabling NetworkManager and re-enabling the network service at some
point.  (I got sick and tired of not being able to login to the system
remotely unless I was also logged in at the console!  Stupid idea!)

I'm going to delete it and then reboot the system (its a kernel behind
anyways....) and see if the file returns.
